My local camera club had a practical evening at Faversham Parish Church last Wednesday, I used this to try out my new 24-105 lens which I am getting to grips with. Due to work I still haven't had a chance to try it out in daylight but it did perform well at the church.
First shot was taken with my canon 10-22 at 11mm focal length just to get the church into the frame as you can see from the clock it was late in the evening, my intention was to try and get the windows light from the inside rather than the traditional way of taking them with the sun streaming through.
This is one of the windows taken with the 24-105 at 28mm focal length, trees and grave stones prevented me getting further back
Inside the church off camera hand held flash used to push some extra light into the roof, it took 2 of us to do this me at the camera and a friend laying in the choir stalls manually firing the flash al the following images were using the 24-105 lens
The next 2 pictures are of the examples of the carvings under the seats in the choir stall, each seat lifts up and forms a perch seat with detailed hand carvings that date back several hundred years. It was a challenge to get pictures of the detail as a) the seats didn't want to stay in the upright position (I had to hold them up by putting £1 coins in the wooden peg hinges to hold them) and b) the only way to get at the carving was to lay on the floor in the choir stall between the rows of seats
